Day after day

Day after day he comes and goes away.

Go, and give him a flower from my hair, my friend.

If he asks who was it that sent it,

I entreat you do not tell him my name --

For he only comes and goes away.

He sits on the dust under the tree.

Spread there a seat with flowers and leaves, my friend.

His eyes are sad, and they bring sadness to my heart.

He does not speak what he has in mind;

He only comes and goes away.
